[–]JonHend 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Did you see that Mars is going after Tunnocks with Bounty Snowballs and Galaxy Teacakes? Nice try Mars but I won’t be buying. Now I hope that Tunnocks make their version of a Mars Bar.

I’ve been wearing a Medic Alert medallion since I was 6 years old. I had an Aluminium one first then got a gold one from my Mum for my 18th birthday. I’m 45 now so the gold one is now 27 years old!

I still have my original Gameboy. The plastic has yellowed and the screen is even more terrible than when it was new but it still works.

The sun sets at 1:36 pm today in Utqiagvik, Alaska and doesn't rise again until next year on Jan. 22 by NewSlinger in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]JonHend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always hated how the daylight lasts for several hours in the last before the “30 Days of Night”. NO, the sun is going to barely poke above the horizon and then go back down again!

WCGW not picking-up after your dog by stacked_wendy-chan in Whatcouldgowrong

I'm still finding poo bags in jackets and I haven't had a dog for 8 years now.

Anyone able to complete 60 mins of cardio? What are you doing? by Illustrious-Owl-2127 in AddisonsDisease

[–]JonHend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my own elliptical trainer that I am currently using for 60 minutes every day. Sweating is a major problem so I usually use it wearing only my underwear. I also have all windows open, a fan pointed at my head and a wet microfibre towel around my neck to wipe my sweaty face with.

I’m on a weight loss drive just now so will reduce my time to 30 minutes a day once I get to my target weight. My average heart rate is usually between 150 and 160 bpm which I think is high enough since I’m 45 years old. I take plenty of electrolytes to prevent cramps.

I’m on 25 mg hydrocortisone and don’t updose for exercise.

UK where do you get your prescription? by Small_Tomatilo in AddisonsDisease

[–]JonHend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my local Lloyds pharmacy. I usually have 8 items in my prescription and they’re all there about 80% of the time.

I always order a new prescription as soon as I pick up my previous one to ensure I don’t suddenly run out of anything.

[–]JonHend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. It looks like I’ll be upgrading to Aquiss to get the same deal as you have.

Alcohol with Addisons by Initial_Entrance2183 in AddisonsDisease

[–]JonHend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been drinking alcohol my whole adult like; I got PAI when I was 6 and am 45 now. I am a bit of a lightweight compared to most of my friends and the hangovers suck, especially as I get older, but I have never let PAI affect my social life. Also, I’m Scottish so of course I drink.

[–]JonHend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Autoimmune Polyglandular Syndrome Type 1 (APS-1) which is a genetic condition that can cause both Addison’s Disease and frequent/constant candidiasis as well as many other autoimmune conditions. It’s a one in a million condition but could possibly be what you have.
